Father M.C. is an American rapper who emerged in the late 1980s and played a significant role in the New Jack Swing era of hip-hop. Known for his smooth, R&B-influenced style, he often collaborated with vocalists such as Jodeci and Mary J. Blige, which contributed to his signature sound. His 1990 debut album, "Father's Day," was a notable success, containing the hit singles "I'll Do 4 U" and "Treat Them Like They Want to Be Treated." Despite his relatively brief peak, Father M.C.'s fusion of hip-hop and R&B has had a lasting influence on the genre's evolution.
